“She told a friend, ‘Diana and I are so much alike! If she’d lived, I know we would have been the best of friends.’ It’s clear she believes, ‘I’m the new Di!’ ”

Meghan was born in Los Angeles just six days after then-20-year-old Lady Diana Spencer married
Prince Charles on July 29, 1981. As a child, she became hooked on
the glamour of the royal wedding, watching a video of it over and over again with her friend
Suzy Ardakani.

“Meghan was obsessed,” dished Suzy’s mom, Sonia. “The girls didn’t just think Diana was glamorous. They were impressed by her humanitarian work and started following her example, collecting clothes and toys and helping at a soup kitchen.”

Meghan was also starstruck by Hollywood, and after a series of small roles, she hit the big time playing paralegal-turned-attorney Rachel Zane on “Suits.” She also racked up a “starter marriage,” divorcing producer Trevor Engelson in 2013 after tying the knot in 2011.

Along the way, Meghan
never stopped idolizing Di, sources said, and her royal daydreams kicked into overdrive when a friend introduced her to Prince Harry in May 2016 during the Invictus Games in Canada.

Soon, Meghan was living out her fantasy, pursuing Diana’s favorite makeup artist, Mary Greenwell, for a magazine cover-photo shoot. “It was Mary who persuaded Diana to lose her signature blue eyeliner and go with a more natural style,” squealed a source.

The social-climbing actress — who chronicled her fondness for food and fashion on her now-closed blog, The Tig — displayed her fixation with Di during secret trysts with Harry, 33, at
Kensington Palace over the past year, tattled the palace source.

“I’m told Meghan kept asking questions about what Harry’s mother said and did,” the insider dished. “She even admitted she’s modeled herself on Diana all her life.” Like the late princess, Meghan has championed charitable causes and is a UNICEF ambassador.

Most shocking, however, the
leggy sexpot may even have undergone plastic surgery to look more like Di! “It appears she’s had a rhinoplasty — a nose job,” said
Dr. Stephen Grifka, who has not treated Meghan, after comparing childhood photos with current pictures.

“Meghan’s all set to channel Diana and take on
her biggest role yet — princess,” said the palace insider. “Marrying Harry is her sick fantasy come true.”
